Light over Benton, KY
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Fell asleep on the couch at 12:30AM. Was woke by my dog barking and growling at the back door at approximately 5:15AM. Looking outside I saw a singular dim light move slowly to the right and then to the left and it disappeared. The light was not broken by the trees, I saw no disturbance in the snow in the woods. From where I stood to where I saw the light there is a dramatic slope which means the light had to have been in the air.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153108). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.
